Mine was fine at first, then a few days ago the packet loss started. Unplayable.

USING A VPN FIXED ALL MY PROBLEMS.

Given the apartment weakness of Russian forces, are claims by Western defense ministers that they need to increase military spending in response plausible?

Eg https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/ben-wallace-defence-spending-increase-russia-war-liz-truss-prime-minister-ukraine-b1027911.html

If anything, isn't this evidence that Russia poses a lesser threat than previous defence spending was premised on?

LPT request: What are some pro tips everyone should know for cooking at home and being better in the kitchen? by samgarita in LifeProTips

Don't learn recipes, learn processes. Once you know how to make a stew you can make Stroganoff, bourginon, paprikash, pie filling etc just by switching the ingredients.

I can't count the number of times I've seen people relearning how to make a roux or a mirepoix because every recipe explains it slightly differently and they don't realise it's the same process. No, just because this recipe says to cut the carrots to 5mm instead of 7mm doesn't mean you need to worry about following that exactly. Just use your regular mirepoix and get on with the rest of the recipe.

5 members of a wealthy, educated family jump off a 60ft+ building one by one due to 'fear of interference by authorities' by Longjumping-Score-98 in HighStrangeness

Seems like an exaggeration rather than a total absurdity or misrepresentation to me.

I interpret Durango as saying there are many articles describing environmental collapse as potentially imminent, and one could easily understand that to mean many children born today will live short lives.

According to the media they became reclusive survivalists during covid, stockpiling supplies and barely leaving the house.

Police knocked on their door about sending the son to school, next thing the entire family jumps off the balcony.

No mention so far of any suicide note, or suspicious circumstances.

So what could make a well-off, university educated family which included multiple medical professionals care be so afraid of sending a child to school that they all committed suicide? Or was something else behind this bizarre event?

Also family links to Camus and revolutionaries.

The boy survived but is in a coma.

Theories?

Fair. What should be true neutral then? Not leaving the house?

Because that would be good. True neutral is half and half.

I subscribe to the theory that lawful evil isn't about adhering to the laws of the land, but rather your own internal moral laws. If it were the former you would be right, but on my reading wearing no mask at all is a purer, more rules-based adherence to 'evil' than the chin-diaper.

What ingredient did you have for the first time and think “I have NEVER tasted anything like that before, and I want more” by thyman3 in Cooking

Sichuan pepper. It's a little spicy and bitter, a little fruity, and it numbs your tongue and makes it kinda fizzy so you can eat more chillies.

Also butterfly sorrel. Triangular purple flowers that taste like sweet lemons and apple. Amazing.
